This is a photograph of an Ex.LMSR Class 5 locomotive (also known as `Black 5s`) on the turntable at Edge Hill Shed,near the `Cole Hole`. The line on the above right of the picture went to/from Wavertree Junction and the line to the left allowed locomotives to access or leave Edge Hill Shed to/from Engine Shed Junction via an incline or to travel to/from Edge Hill via Edge Hill No.4 Signal Box.
